So instead of asking why should grad student researchers get paid because law students done, you should ask why don’t law students get paid for their work that profits their school?

Law students write journal articles that become “decisive” for future SCOTUS cases?

Would love to see three of those if you can provide any.

Law students do edit a lot of shit that professors write for journals…but the student written notes aren’t really changing the world or advancing the profession in any meaningful way.

Right, but you can say the same thing for high level grad research. Plus grad research gets funding.
